The property was absolutely beautiful, and it felt like we had our own private beach. There were nearby trails you could walk near the beach and the closeness to the beach was amazing with the most awesome views. The condo was perfect and it was very comfortable. It was close to a nearby plaza where they had a small grocery store which was very convenient. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Reviewer Comments:
Have stayed in dozens of these places in Kapalua. This one is just "ok" First of all the picture looking out to the ocean from the outside table is old. Now there are overgrown bushes blocking the view. Need to be cut down about 4 feet! The place needs some TLC. Paint, deep clean and better kitchen items. AC was good, but it did get hot upstairs even with the blinds closed 24 hours a day. I would recommend tinting the upper windows and installing blinds closer to the windows. As for the location, you can't beat Kapalua. Would we stay in this unit again? Probably not.

We have been staying in Kapalua (the Bay Villas) for over 20 years.The unit was very pretty and mostly updated and the AC worked great! But this place is in need of some interior painting. It's obvious where paint has been touched up - especially up the stairs and on the doors. The low quality of utensils, a melted spatula, stained/dirty cutting boards etc made cooking a bit challenging and plastic tongs are not made for bbqs. But the thing that was most disappointing was the view from the lanai. The photo that is in the listing is outdated. There is no grass and the plants have grown too tall which blocks the view when you are sitting at the table on the lanai. It would be nice if the plants were trimmed down. It looks as if the landscaping was changed years ago. Probably to keep people from walking right in front of the unit and the front door. Also, there are no drapes like in the pictures. Blinds have been installed which are nicer than drapes but let too much light in the bedroom especially if neighbors have their porch lights on. Overall, it was a great vacation and being on Maui is always wonderful.
Myself and my family had an amazing time staying at this property. The views were amazing and proximity to the beach was ideal. Will definitely stay here again.
Beautiful home in a prime location. Was perfect for our family of 4 to go back and forth between Maui. Clean, cute decor, beautiful view of the ocean. Has a small private beach, little rocky hike for the kids to explore, friendly neighbors. Gated quiet community. Would stay here again
The property and location were amazing, and more beautiful than what the pictures showed. We were much closer to the beach than I thought we would be. The location was quiet and peaceful. The check in process was clear and easy. The price for the property was very reasonable, and there was plenty of room in the unit. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again.
The villa was well equipped, however could be cleaner. The view in the picture of the patio is not that direct of a view, landscaping has taken over and the view is blocked when sitting at the table. The villa is right by the community pool, which is good and bad. Liked the location of the villa and would return.
Great location- quiet at night, super clean, very comfortable bed, loved the roomy shower! We loved having coffee along outside on the patio while watching for whales. Don't forget your binoculars! It was lovely to use the folding chairs supplied when we walked over to Kapalua Bay beach to snorkel and swim. We also loved being able to walk to the shops/restaurants/walking trails near the Ritz. Nice to make some of our own meals along with dining out. We had a wonderful stay and plan to return soon! Thank you!
Outstanding location, with amazing ocean view and easy access to the beach and walking path. Exceeded our expectations.
We had the most amazing week and one of our best vacations which was mostly because of the comfort level we had at the condo and how convenient everything was. This condo is beautiful inside and out, and when I got there, the pictures didn’t do justice to how wonderful this place is. I’m so happy we went in February as we were able to view the whales from the balcony. We will definitely come again!
we love this area, home was awesome can’t wait to get back to Maui!!
Overall really enjoyed the property. The pictures were a little misleading in that it looks like there is grass surrounding the lower balcony but it is rock landscaping not grass. Was a little disappointed as we specifically booked the property for the grass area that our baby could crawl on. Besides that we enjoyed the stay and the kapalua area was amazing! Loved the beaches. Was great being so close to the pool
Great for the two of us to sit outside and enjoy the oasis and gorgeous views from everywhere in the condo.
We loved our stay in the beautiful villa. Will come again.
We had a great time at this condominium. The unit was as pictured. Views were incredible. We found the area to be great for walking and the shuttle service was outstanding. Had a wonderful experience.

We like this part of Maui is its lesser crowded and has great beaches close by. Property is in a nice location with view of ocean.
Loved the property! Two amazing beaches and a pool footsteps away. Tide pools and great food nearby, it was an amazing vacation!
Fabulous location. Walk to ritz and montage and ocean and coves and trails and tidal pools. Great unit and view from unit is amazing.
We really enjoy Kapalua Bay Villas. This was a nice one bedroom unit with nice news.
Another beautiful vacation in Kapalua Villas… great golf, snorkeling and restaurants nearby.
My wife and I had a fantastic stay at this property. The views from the place are beautiful, and the property is right on a scenic coastal walking trail and within walking distance from two nice beaches. The grounds and pools were kept up very well. The place itself has all the necessary amenities for a stress free stay. Parking was simple and check-in and out were a breeze. We did have an issue with the AC our first couple days but the host (Epic) was incredibly responsive and worked very quickly and effectively to remedy the situation. I would absolutely stay here again!
We stayed for 8 days the whole property was gorgeous! Very clean very cool and beautiful views !
Everything was great. If I have to knit pick..... Complex was a little confusing if you are arriving after dark. Loft bed matress could be replaced. None of this should stop you from booking this place, more for the booking agency to improve. If we are to visit Maui again, we would book this place in a heartbeat.
Great location for all outdoor activities, Condo was as advertised.
Really nice condo for our week on Maui. We enjoyed easy beach access, the quiet community, and access to the pool. Really appreciated the smaller details like providing enough dish washer and laundry pods to last the full week. We look forward to staying here again.
My wife and I recently stayed here for a weeklong getaway from reality. We’ve stayed in this neighborhood before and loved it with our entire family. This time we came just the two of us and this one bedroom condo was the perfect size for us. Beautiful place with beautiful views.
Fantastic stay. Property as described. Enjoyed our time very much.
